The Health Bill has been very controversial and it a lot of members in the senate are struggling to find a suitable way to fix the problem. Medicaid is very important and a lot of people who cannot afford proper health insurance rely heavily on Medicaid. Obama had planned on meeting officials in Indonesia, and he had planned to bring his family with him there. However, many people have criticized him for planning a trip during the process of finding a new health bill, it seems that he wants to take a vacation instead. So in order to alleviate the senate he has delayed his vacation for a good amount of time so that the issue can be fixed.
I think that it is good that he has put the country's needs before his own. I don't think that he should be criticized for taking a family vacation. Although he has said that it is for business, he can still take a vacation if he wants to. But, I think it really shows that he wants to work with the senate to pass a proper Health Care bill, it shows his unending commitment as president.
